Banks play a large part in
the economy of every large town or city, and Enderby is no exception. When Enderby was
first recognized as a town, the Bank of Montreal was the first to take interest in
Enderby's development, entering the scene in 1905.
The Bank of Hamilton, the Union Bank and the Enderby Credit Union
were also added to Enderby's Banking community, entering the community at different times.
The Bank of Montreal was, and still is, the major bank for the
community of Enderby. It has had the longest period of operation.
The Union Bank appeared in Enderby in 1911 and was located in the Enderby Hotel. It closed
some time after the A. R. Rogers Sawmill closed in 1922.
The Bank of Hamilton's part in Enderby was short, appearing quite a while after the Bank
of Montreal, and moving to Armstrong a few short years afterward.
The Enderby & District
Credit Union came into Enderby long after the other three banks, and like the Bank of
Montreal, still remains.
